Research Question:
How can we use a movable robotic arm to dress impaired individuals? Can robotics be a tenable way to alleviate the stress on a spread-thin caregiving industry?
Project Summary:
I will be conducting research within Professor Tapomayukh Bhattacharjee's robotics lab, which works to leverage robotics to address day-to-day struggles of impaired people. I'll be working closely with Ph.D Pranav Thakkar on his new research in dressing impaired individuals, which he described as "an extremely hard problem" from an engineering point of view.
